An advancement in CO2 utilization through novel gas switching dry reforming
Ugwu, Ambrose; Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Amini, Shahriar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study is the first experimental demonstration of CO2 capture and utilization for dry methane reforming using a novel chemical looping concept, “Gas Switching Dry Reforming” (GSDR) to produce syngas. The new reactor ... -
Comparison of phenomenological and fundamental modelling approaches for predicting fluidized bed reactor performance
Cloete, Schalk; Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Johansen, Stein Tore; Amini, Shahriar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Two approaches to modelling fluidized bed reactors were evaluated and compared in this work: a phenomenological 1D approach based on empirical closures and a more fundamental 2D approach based on computational fluid dynamics ... -

Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Johansen, Stein Tore; Annaland, MV; Gallucci, F; Amini, Shahriar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This paper experimentally demonstrates the feasibility of a novel gas switching combustion (GSC) reactor as an alternative to the traditional chemical looping combustion (CLC) process for power production with integrated ... -
Gas Switching Reforming (GSR) for syngas production with integrated CO2 capture using iron-based oxygen carriers
Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Dahl, Paul Inge; Ugwu, Ambrose; Tolchard, Julian R; Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Amini, Shahriar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The process behavior of a Gas Switching Reforming (GSR) reactor was studied using three different iron-based oxygen carrier materials: Iron-oxide on Alumina, Iron-Nickel oxide on Alumina and Iron-Ceria on Alumina. It was ... -
Gas Switching Reforming for syngas production with iron-based oxygen carrier-the performance under pressurized conditions
Ugwu, Ambrose; Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Tolchard, Julian R; Dahl, Paul Inge; Amini, Shahriar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A four-stage Gas Switching Reforming for syngas production with integrated CO2 capture using an iron-based oxygen carrier was investigated in this study. The oxygen carrier was first reduced using dry methane, where high ... -
